Bump Watch 2014: 24 weeks

I survived my second week of commuting to and from Edinburgh. It is pretty draining and, I won't lie, I take off my shoes and put my feet up on the train home but it's not soul destroying. We are still nowhere near having an agreed upon name but I guess we have 15 weeks until we figure that out! A lot of the names we'd discussed last time are too popular now, we just don't like any more or just don't work. Searching for baby names online is interesting because I swear so many of them make up the name's origins and meaning!

*How far along?: 24 weeks*How big is baby?: A cantaloupe. Now I want a wedge of cantaloupe with some salt sprinkled on it. *Maternity clothes?: Yes, but this dress is not maternity. This is a Land's End dress my Mom sent me last year but it was a bit big in the bust and body. Massive pregnancy boobs and bump means it fits now though!*Sleep?: I'm so exhausted from my commute Monday-Wednesday I sleep really well the second half of the week.*Best moment this week?: My Mom booked her flights to come in September!*Movement?: Yes; getting movement at other times of the day rather than just at night.*Food cravings?: Lemons and salts. If I could have margaritas I'd be rocking out.*Labor signs?: No*Belly button in or out?: Innie, but much shallower; you can see that my belly button ring isn't actually a belly button piercing but a stomach piercing. What you say? See apparently when I was a baby the upper lip of my belly button got infected and was cauterized off except no one told me this until AFTER I got my belly button pierced and discovered it's really just a dermal stomach piercing. Luckily my stomach isn't flat and you can't really tell.*What I miss: Antihistamines. I have some allergy medicine from the GP but it really isn't as good as the real stuff. I think just the tail end of my chest infection and my allergies combined are not fun.*What I'm looking forward to: We leave for France on Wednesday!*Milestone: First bebe inconvenience. NotBlondeHusband ordered Still Game tickets last year and they arrived today---for bebe #2's birthday. Guess he won't be making that show. If you like to compare/contrast here is Blondie Boy's 24 week update & bump pic.

I started take bump photos much later than I did last time but whatcha going to do! I think how you stand makes a big difference--totally side on I look MASSIVE but slightly at the side I can deal with :)

You're properly blooming! I love that dress - such a cute colour. And ah, margaritas... mmmmmm. Thanks for linking up to the #BlogBumpClub again. We're pretty much exactly at the same stage along so it's really interesting to read someone else's pregnancy experiences as they go through it at the same stage! x

ah the name debate! My husband and I never agree. He knows my choice if we have a boy and after vetoing for the last 4 pregnancies has finally agreed we can use it if he doesn't come up with anything better. He won't. You're looking fab by the way! x x
